Title: Somebody sent me (and many others) 0.00000003 BTC
Post by: Borph on April 05, 2013, 12:23:45 PM
I installed just for fun the Android Bitcoin Wallet of Andreas Schildbach on my tablet. Out of the blue I received 0.00000003 BTC from an unknown address.

I checked the transaction: https://blockchain.info/de/tx/3bdcbd4468f3676132371bb025aaca28b00703bffff2130996b7d277e0d301d8 (https://blockchain.info/de/tx/3bdcbd4468f3676132371bb025aaca28b00703bffff2130996b7d277e0d301d8)

That are many outputs!! Hundrets? So I'm not alone, and that address has more of this weird transactions.

I have no idea what is the background of this is, or if he is simply mistaken, or is it a joke? Does anybody have a similar experience?

It could be some kind of mafia outfit. They have been known to force gifts onto people, the next thing you know there's a knock at the door and you're shoveling dirt in the middle of the night with a suspicious load in the truck. Be very careful.

Did you give anyone your tablets address, or send any money to it yourself?

@Mike Hearn: Yes, I sent little play money to it and made a satoshi-dice transfer, too. I got the 0.00005 back from them as normal, the strange transaction now happened a week or so after!

LOL, you could be right! I was once on that page, but I totally forgot about it, as it was like I said a week ago. And I actually don't remember that it was with my tablet's address! Haha, ok thanks, miracle solved!
